Chapter 6

The First Battle By The Cottage!

There were still two days before the Academy Competition.

Ye Qiubai stood in front of the painting of the Sword Immortal Dancing.

He seemed to have comprehended something again, and waves of sword qi erupted from his body.

His aura quickly climbed and reached the Peak Stage Golden Core Pill Realm!

He could not help but sigh feeling his cultivation increase again, “As expected of Master. Every time I look at this painting, I have a different comprehension of the Sword Dao.”

Ye Qiubai would be terrified if he found out that this painting was actually casually drawn by Lu Changsheng when he was bored.

However, Ye Qiubai also felt that he had reached a bottleneck after these days of cultivation.

Over the past few days, Ye Qiubai had also understood a bit more about the Hidden Dao Academy.

In the Hidden Dao Academy, contribution points were used as the criteria for assessment.

Contribution points could be used to enter the Treasure Pavilion to choose cultivation techniques and martial techniques, or they could be exchanged for natural treasures.

There were three ways to obtain contribution points.

The first was to complete the missions of the Academy.

The second was to make outstanding contributions to the Academy.

Lastly would be to go to the martial arts arena to spar with the people from the Academy.

He could go on stage to challenge if he bet his contribution points. The higher the number of wins, the more contribution points he would have. If he lost, all his contribution points would go to the other party.

Thinking of this, Ye Qiubai decided to go to the martial arts arena to spar.

He could use this opportunity to verify his current Sword Dao comprehension and also to earn contribution points.

Therefore, Ye Qiubai carried a wooden sword and went down the mountain.

When he arrived at the registration office, an old man was sitting at the door.

“Name, which hall, cultivation level, and contribution points.”

Ye Qiubai reported his name. “The Cottage, Golden Core Pill Realm. 100 contribution points.”

The Cottage?

The old man raised his head and glanced at Ye Qiubai. He handed over a hand sign with the number 11 on it and said, “The Golden Core Pill realm spar has already begun. Go over directly.”

“Thank you very much.”

Ye Qiubai cupped his fists and entered the martial arts stage.

After a short while, Number 11 was called.

Ye Qiubai took a small step and jumped onto the martial arts arena. Opposite him was a huge man with explosive muscles.

“Martial Hall’s Li He against the Cottage’s Ye Qiubai. Their realms are the same, and the winner takes all.”

An old man retreated from the stage after reading it.

When the people watching the battle heard this, they were all shocked.

“The Cottage? Is it the Cottage that has not taken in disciples for decades?”

“Yes, the Cottage has taken in new disciples now. I want to see what the Cottage is capable of.”

Li He heard the whispers of the surrounding people and could not help but sneer. “Disciple of the Cottage? I want to see what the people of the Cottage are capable of.”

Ye Qiubai did not reply. Instead, he took out his wooden sword.

These people would naturally shut up as long as he revealed his strength.

At the same time, a few Elders arrived in midair.

This included the Dean of the academy, Qin Tiannan.

“Looks like everyone wants to see how that kid Changsheng’s disciple is doing.”

The Sword Hall Elder snorted coldly. “If the disciple he takes in is not good, then he can’t occupy the academy’s resources in the future.”

The Martial Hall Elder nodded in agreement. “The opinions in the academy are getting stronger and stronger. I’m afraid even the Dean won’t be able to suppress them.”

Qin Tiannan sighed. “Let’s take a look at this child first.”

The match began.

Li He sneered and suddenly stepped on the ground. His explosive muscles bulged as he punched Ye Qiubai’s chest!

The people of the Martial Hall all had extremely strong physical bodies. As one of the best, Li He was even more extraordinary.

The surrounding wind changed direction, and sonic booms sounded in the air with a punch!

Even the surrounding audience was shocked.

“Li He’s body has become stronger again. Even someone at the peak of the Golden Core Pill Realm will probably find it difficult to withstand his punch.”

“This Ye Qiubai is still standing there without moving. He’s probably already shocked by the power of this punch.”

“The Cottage… is nothing much.”

Ye Qiubai looked at this punch calmly. His body was indeed very powerful.

However, that was all.

The wooden sword in his hand was raised slightly and he stabbed out!

“You want to block my punch with a wooden sword?”

Li He sneered and punched the wooden sword!

However, the scene of the wooden sword shattering did not happen as Li He had expected.

Instead, his fist seemed to have smashed into an extremely sharp sword!

Puff!

In an instant, his fist was pierced by the wooden sword!

Li He’s expression changed drastically as he took a step back!

The elder of the Sword Hall above had a solemn expression. “The sword qi is restrained. This child’s mastery of the sword qi is so powerful.”

It was not difficult to restrain the sword qi, but it was extremely difficult to store it in an extremely fragile wooden sword.

The Martial Hall Elder’s face darkened. “Let’s wait and see. This is not good enough.”

Li He was a student of their Martial Hall after all.

The audience was also shocked.

Clearly, this scene had exceeded their expectations.

Ye Qiubai’s expression did not change at all. His eyes were as calm as the lake without any ripples.

He took a slight step forward and shot out like an arrow!

The wooden sword in his hand slashed out, and sword lights locked onto Li He’s figure like a sword net.

There was no way out!

When Li He saw this, he knew that he had underestimated his enemy.

The afterimage from the sword in front of him seemed to be able to cut through space as it attacked him!

The sword wind slashed at Li He’s powerful body, leaving blood traces!

If it slashed at him directly, he would probably be cut into pieces!

Thinking of this, Li He roared at the sky, and his arms began to turn to stone.

Streaks of black gold flowed from the petrified arm to his five fingers and turned into black gold gloves.

“That’s a Peak Stage Treasure, the Black Gold Gloves and he is even using the Mountain Shaking Fist. This is Li He’s strongest move!”

“Li He used this move to kill a Peak Stage Golden Core Pill realm expert when he was at the Beginner Stage Golden Core Pill realm previously!”

Ye Qiubai was surprised. The other party’s aura was also rising extremely. The power of that punch was probably quite powerful.

In the past, he probably wouldn’t have been able to withstand this punch.

However, this punch was nothing much now, with the Primordial Sword Scripture given by his master and the modification of various medicinal pills.

The wooden sword in his hand slashed again!

Sword qi spewed out, and the sword net formed by the sword lights seemed to become even sharper and more condensed, as if it could tear through space!

The fists and swords collided, emitting a clanging sound of metal colliding.

Waves of huge airwaves continuously spread out!

Unfortunately, this state did not last long.

Cracks quickly appeared on Li He’s black gold glove!

There was no way to hide!

Li He’s expression changed. The Black Gold Gloves were instantly destroyed!

Cracks appeared on the petrified arm with a crack, and blood spewed out!

He was sent flying and fell outside the martial arts arena with a scream.

“The winner is Ye Qiubai of the Cottage!”
